      Am I doing this correctly?

      We have 3 websites and shoot a lot of instructional videos on how to use our products.  I build a webpage for the video and put it on all three websites, using rel="canonical" on 2 of the videos pages, pointing to the single most important page, is this the right method?

      TY

      PS: I also do this for press releases.

        Hi Kevin

        Yes, this is absolutely the right method. You won't rank for the video on the two pages with the canonical but I guess you have a reason for this but cross-domain rel-canonical is the correct way to do this,

        I would also consider transcribing the video on the important page too for maximum SEO juice.

        Regards
